You are correct sir. If I have offended someone. I apologize. I am deeply concerned with the future of this country. I just don't think that it is any one person's fault for the mess that we are in. I have always been one to pull for the underdog. so when everybody is piling on our current president, I feel the need to pull people off the pile. If there's gonna be a fight, it's gonna be one on one not a whole bunch of people beating up on one person. My response about the gay pride movement was a knee jerk reaction to someone referring to me as getting "her" panties in a wad. I come from a farm family and blue collar roots. It was drilled into us boys that if someone insults your manhood, you show them that you are indeed, not a girl. My response was out of line and I am sorry. I am young middle aged, 47 to be exact. I have a value that I hold true to. I will speak to you in the manner in which I would like to be spoken to. So, in that light, when someone gives me a hard time, in a disrespectful manner, I then in turn respond to them in a disrespectful manner. I was asking a question and some people fired at me in a manner that I felt was an attack. So I then returned fire. I will be more civil in the future and I come to you with hat in hand asking forgiveness.

If you go back & read the post the reference was to the WI teachers - TBS - where in SD did you live, do you have a dog playing these games & if so at what level?, but you need to practice your wordsmithing , there are some smart guys on this forum, as you will find out if you stick around - & the POTUS is not an underdog, his wealth is closing in on 10 mil, & what's he done to accumulate that much dough, think about that!!!!!!!

on the plus side of all of this Murral,
Many of us search long and hard for the perfect sig line. I was so torn I use two. My original Leopold quote and my Boorstin. But you just had the perfect sig line come from this thread. You Own It!

Hi Murral,

I now know that you are not a "girl" . It may take a certain time for other posters to make this recognition. Please forgive them.., they are republicans and self-described "conservatives". They do not always reflect...smart.
Marvin has been called to task before for his opinions on FT Judging and his views on school board philosophy. HE LIKES HIMSELF VERY MUCH...I'll not fault him for that. Don't we all value our own opinions over those of others
